You could see Mt. Scott from Roy Clays' service station at 82nd and Johnson Creek Blvd. Brothers Roy and Frank Clay wrapped tire chains on the handlebars of their motorcycles and went up on the hill. They could go anywhere with the chains, and a lot of trails were opened from 82nd to Gresham, as there were not many fences back then. Many others enjoyed riding the trails with Roy and Frank and Mt. Scott Motorcycle Club was born.
The big runs back then were the Devils Head Time Keepers Enduro and the TeePee Run held on the Indian Reservation near Pine Grove, Oregon, until the 70's. We had events and play days in Colton for years.
Times Change, but the Mt. Hood National Forest has worked with our club for 50 years and we work well together and compliment each other. In 1961 we met with the Oregon Department of Forestry in the Tillamook Burn and talked of trails and events and how we could keep the trails open in the event of a fire. This would give access to more areas to fight fire and we would help maintain the trails.
We are a family oriented club. We are a trail riding club and only have one road event each year. We have 5 events a year in the Tillamook Burn, and the TeePee Run annually at McCubins Gulch on Mt. Hood. We currently have about 50 active members, and are always interested in new members.
Mt Scott Motorcycle Club is the oldest dirt club in Oregon!
